The Music and Movement learning experience I had planned for the children

will be their first music and movement activity they are engaged in. Children at
this age group love to music and movement; however, they preferred to listen
to the music while they are playing in the room. It would take time, patient and
practice for the children to develop an understanding of engaged in an activity
from the start to the end.

Music and Movement

When I first implemented the activity, some children are not interest in being
told what they should do when the music are playing. Only one child in the
room actually sat down and participates in the session from the beginning to
the end. This had proven that the educators have to provided children with an
opportunity to practice sitting down engaged in-group activity. They prefer only
listen while they are playing rather than sitting down and participate in the
session. This goes the same with music and movement. The children only
preferred to listen to the music while they are doing their own things.
The children in the room like to self express rather than being told what to do
and it normal for children at this age group because they are still exploring
their environment through senses and play.
Music, movement and singing along to songs benefit children with
development such as:
Language skill such as vocabulary
Learn new words and concepts
Develop large motor skills
Awareness of movement and body positions
Express emotions

Improvement balance, coordination, and rhythm through dance and

movement activities
Participating in a group

What is Next?
Provide children with group activity this help children learn to work together
and respect one another.
Practice Group time with the children, start short and extend the time once the
children learn and build up the concept of singing down as a group.
